It's almost Chinese New Year, but your flowers are still turning yellow and dropping leaves. What should you do?

Azalea

(Author: Lavender Source: Sina Blog)

Azalea is one of the top choices for Chinese New Year flowers. During the Chinese New Year, you can place a pot of blooming azalea at home. It will be a great honor for friends and relatives to come over. However, it is not good if the leaves turn yellow...

The first reason: Improper watering

The leaves of the newly bought azalea turn yellow, mostly due to improper watering, either too much watering or too little watering.

The correct way to water azaleas is to water them when the soil is dry and wet, that is, water them when the surface of the soil in the pot is 2 to 3 cm dry, and water them thoroughly. You should also spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas of the azalea to increase the humidity of the surrounding air.

Second reason: The temperature is too low

Azalea is a southern flower and is not cold-resistant. The temperature in winter must be kept at 5~10℃. If it is below 5℃, the azalea will stop growing.

Therefore, for those flower lovers who don’t have heating at home and the temperature is very low in winter, Huahua does not recommend you to buy azaleas.

There are also many flower lovers who like camellia, but when they grow it at home, they find that the leaves turn yellow. What’s going on?

The first reason: Improper watering

Watering is indeed a big problem, and for camellia, people often water it too much. Camellia needs less watering in winter, and the soil in the pot should be kept dry. If the temperature at home can reach above 20℃, then water when the plants are dry or wet.

Secondary cause: insufficient elements

If some trace elements needed by camellia during its growth process are not met, it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.

At this time, you can apply fertilizer with 20%~30% bean cake fertilizer once a month, or add a small amount of ferrous sulfate when watering. Note that 1~2 drops at a time will be enough.

Kalanchoe can be said to be one of the easiest plants to grow, but some flower lovers still find that the leaves of their Kalanchoe turn yellow. What is the reason? Let Huahua tell you the story in detail.

First reason: natural metabolism

Flower lovers can first observe that if only the leaves at the bottom of the Kalanchoe are yellowing, and there is nothing wrong with the top, then it is normal metabolism. Flower lovers just need to remove the yellow leaves.

Second reason: Overwatering

If the leaves become soft first and then turn yellow, it is waterlogged.

You can take the Kalanchoe out to bask in the sun, wait for the leaves on the edges to dry up, and then use scissors to cut off the dry parts. The dead leaves will heal themselves after a few days, and new buds will slowly grow out.

orchid

I don’t know how many orchid lovers there are. Many people think orchids are difficult to grow. In Huahua’s opinion, there are no flowers that are difficult to grow, only people who are willing to put in the effort!

The first reason: Unsuitable environment

If it is a newly bought orchid, then the yellowing of its leaves is most likely due to the orchid's inability to adapt to the environment, which temporarily affects the orchid's absorption of nutrients, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Cut off the yellowing leaves and continue caring for the plant as normal.

Second reason: Improper watering

Whether orchids are short of water or waterlogged, the leaves will turn yellow. If even the tender leaves turn yellow, it means too much water is given. If the leaves at the bottom start to turn yellow and then spread upwards, it means too little water is given and the leaves are dry.

If you water too much, you can move the orchid to a well-lit and ventilated place to speed up the evaporation of water.

If you water too little, you need to water it. Note that you must water it thoroughly, that is, you can see water flowing out of the small holes at the bottom.

Money Tree

Money tree, maybe most of the flower lovers buy money trees for a good omen, but the fact that money trees like yellow leaves is also very depressing...

The first reason: Too much watering

The root system of the money tree is not well developed. If it is watered too much, the roots will easily rot. Once the roots rot, the leaves will turn yellow.

Use a small iron rod or something like that to insert along the edge of the pot and gently stir the soil to accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the soil. After that, wait until the surface of the soil is dry and turns white before watering. Water thoroughly all at once.

Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is a must-buy flower for the Chinese New Year. Not only is it beautiful, it also has a very good meaning! It's perfect for giving as a gift!

The first reason: the temperature is too low

Phalaenopsis is a tropical flower with very high temperature requirements. The optimal growth temperature is 18~28℃. If the temperature is lower than 15℃, it will affect the growth of Phalaenopsis.

Second reason: Improper watering

If even the young leaves turn yellow, it means there is too much water. If the top and new leaves are fine, but the old leaves below turn yellow, it means there is too little water and the plant has not been watered thoroughly for a long time.

If you water too much, you can stuff a piece of cloth under the nutrient pot to slowly absorb the water. Or you can gently turn up the surface soil in the pot to allow the soil to come into contact with more air and accelerate the evaporation of water.

If you water too little, you need to water thoroughly once, and then wait until the surface of the soil in the pot is dry and turns white before watering again, also making sure to water thoroughly.

Clivia

(Author: Hu Xiqing Source: Wuhai Photography Network)

Clivia is a perennial plant. If it is well cared for, it can even bloom every year. However, if it is not cared for well, the leaves will turn yellow...

Main cause: Improper watering

If the leaves of Clivia start to turn yellow from the tips of the young leaves and then gradually spread downwards, it means there is too much water. If the tips of the old leaves turn yellow, it means there is a lack of water.

If there is a shortage of water, you can use the immersion method. Put the Clivia with the flower and the pot into a large pot filled with water. Wait until the surface of the potting soil is moist and then take it out. The Clivia will be watered thoroughly.

If you water too much, loosen the soil, be careful not to damage the roots of the Clivia, and then place it in a well-ventilated place on the balcony to speed up the evaporation of water.

Second reason: insufficient light

Insufficient light can also cause the new leaves of Clivia to turn yellow, especially in winter when the light is relatively weak. It is necessary to move the Clivia to a place with good light in time.

Cyclamen

Cyclamen is also called radish flower, and it is one of the flowers that everyone chooses during the Chinese New Year. Look at its petals, don’t they look like rabbit ears?

Main cause: Dry air

Cyclamen likes water and has a very obvious perception of moisture. It also has relatively high requirements for air humidity. Once the moisture requirement is not met, the leaves will turn yellow and wilt!

Keep the cyclamen's pot soil moist indoors, spray it around more often to increase the air humidity~

Second reason: insufficient light

Although cyclamen is afraid of strong light, if it is placed in a place with insufficient light for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow!

The light in winter is not sufficient or strong enough, so place the cyclamen in a place with brighter light.
